About Loving Day
On 12 June 1967 the Supreme Court decided Loving v. Virginia, ruling unanimously that state laws banning marriage between people of different races were unconstitutional. The case was brought by Richard Loving, a white man, and Mildred Loving, a woman of African American and Native American descent, who had married in Washington in 1958 and been prosecuted in Virginia. The decision ended such laws in sixteen states. Loving Day is now an annual celebration with picnics and festivals, and the day is used by multiracial families to tell the story and to hold weddings.
